What do you mean by "Select runs fine" - is it using number of reducers that you set?
It might help if you could show actual query.

Selects run fine. The query uses 44 mappers.

Hello,
Have you tried running only select, without creating table? What are
results?
How did you tried to set number of reducers? Have you used this:
set mapred.reduce.tasks = xyz;
How many mappers does this query use?

I am running a basic join of 2 tables and it will only run with 1 reducer.
why is that? i tried to set the number of reducers and it didn't work.
hive
just ignored it.

create table z as select x.* from table1 x join table2 y where (
x.col1 = y.col1 and
x.col2 = y.col2 and
x.col3 = y.col3 and
x.col4 = y.col4 and
x.col5 = y.col5
);

both tables are backed by multiple files / blocks / chunks
